sept. 2, 1930. E. R. LOGAN COLLAR FASTENER Filed Aug. 21', 1929 Patented Sept. 2, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EUGENE RAY LOGAN, OF LIBERTY HILL, TEXAS COLLAR FASTENER Application filed August 21, 1929.

, surface to avoid projections or uneven surfaces and hence annoyance to the wearer of the collar.

The invention further aims to provide means on the shirt band to receive a detachable member embedded between the plies of the collar for holding the latter in place without the use of button or the like.

The invention also comprehends improvements in the details and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a perspective view partly broken away looking from the inside of a collar and shirt band illustrating the application of my invention.

F ig. 2 is a perspective view of a collar opened up with the invention applied.

Fig. 3 is a detail horizontal section on an enlarged scale of a collar and shirt band with the improvement applied.

Fig. l is an enlarged detail vertical section on the line H, Fig. 1.

l indicates an ordinary roll collar comprising the inner band 2 and outer band 3, and made with the usual plies 4.

The inner band 2 is cut away at several points in its length to provide recesses 5 and afford openings leading to the spaces 6 between the plies, the end spaces 6 being closed by the tabs 7.

The collar band 8 of the shirt is provided with loops 9, the number of loops corresponding to the number of recesses 5 in the collar. A'celluloid strip 10 is housed in the spaces 6 and is threaded through the loops 9 in order to hold the collar in position on the shirt.

In applying a collar to a shirt, the end of the Celluloid strip 8 is inserted in one of the end spaces 6 and its opposite end is threaded serial No. 387,529.

through the iirst loop and then through the next space 6 and so on until the last loop 9 is reached. After threading the end of the Celluloid strip through the last loop, it is then inserted in the opposite end space 6 of the collar, hence the collar is securely fastened to the shirt.

The loops 9 are secured to the outside of and extend up beyond the top of the shirt band and tit in behind the ply of the inner band above the recesses 5, the edge of the ply of the collar iitting snugly in the crotches between the loops and shirt band as shown at ll, consequently the shirt band is always retained inside the inner collar band.

It follows from the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, that I have provided a neat and compact means for holding the collar to a shirt, and one which will hold the collar erect and largely prevent the collar absorbing perspiration and wilt-ing.

While the invention is shown as for connecting a collar to a shirt, it will of course be appreciated that it might be used for other 1' e connecting portions of garments and that the collar band 8, here indicated as forming part of a shirt, may, without detracting from the spirit of the invent-ion, form a part of any other garment to which a collar or like accessory is to be removably connected.

What I claim is:

l. In combination, a shirt band provided with spaced apart loops, a double ply collar having recesses to receive the loops, a flexible strip threaded through the loops and between the plies of the collar to thereby hold the collar on the shirt band.

2. In combination, a shirt band provided on its outer side with spaced apart loops which extend beyond the upper edge of the band, a collar including inner and outer bands termed of plies, the inner band having spaced apart recesses corresponding to the number of loops, the recesses forming openings tc spaces in the band between the plies, and a flexible strip having its ends inserted in the end spaces and threaded through the loops and adjacent spaces, whereby to hold the collar to the shirt band.

3. In combination, a shirt band, having :1 series of loops on its outer side, said loops extending up beyond the top edge of the band, a collar including outer and inner bands, the inner band having spaced apart recesses7 the upper Walls of which engage in the orotehes formed between the loops and the shut band, and the loops extending up behind the collar band above the recesses.j and a flexible band threaded through the loops and the plies between the recesses.

In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature.

EUGENE RAY LOGAN.
